March 27, 2012 – Experiencer Panel Discussion

Welcome to South Bay IANDS. Our March meeting brings our first experiencer panel discussion featuring 3 local Near-Death Experiencers. This should be an evening of amazing stories and answered questions. The brief stories and circumstances of the 3 individuals are below. I appreciate, and so will you, their selflessness and very generous desire and motivation to tell the world that there is life after death: what it can look like and what it can soundlike.

This meeting starts at 7:00 PM and could possibly last 3 hours because of its format. You are encouraged to bring snacks to share during our break! There is a suggested donation of $5.00 to $20.00, but it’s not mandatory. We want all people to be able to experience this evening.

Linda Brann

While doing household chores, Linda felt poorly. Her chest was staring to display symptoms of a heart attack. With her arms tingling, and close to unconsciousness, her husband called emergency services , and they barely got to her in time. While at death’s door, she experienced an amazing NDE that she will share with us.

Ann Fox

A hit and run driver left Ann, a television producer, with a “pulverized” face. Her death came as she suffocated on her own bone and facial tissue. Her story is one of a beautiful NDE and of a strong survivor.

Ray Kinman

Ray Kinman

A dangerous and unsuccessful judo throw landed 4th grader Ray Kinman right on the top of his head – on concrete. The resulting edema of his brain was a secondary concern because his tongue retracted, suffocating Ray.

Eric Rice

In the winter of 1982, during a life crisis, Eric received a visit from a spiritual being he calls “the Presence”, who revealed to him God’s true nature. Over the course of weeks, the Presence also healed Eric and in so doing revealed the power of self-healing that we all possess.

Quotes Worth Pondering

"I have never interviewed anyone who had a near-death experience who told me that they came back to make more money or to spend more time at their jobs away from their families... Instead, they become convinced that they need to be more loving and kind. They react to their experience by living life to its fullest. They believe their lives have a purpose, even if that purpose is obscure to them. Invariably it involves concepts such as love of family or service to others. They seem to know that the love they create while living will be reflected and radiated back to them when they die." -- Melvin Morse, M.D., from his book, Parting Visions

“I went into this tunnel, and I came into this room that was just beautiful. God held me, He called me by name, and He told me, ‘Mary Jo, you can’t stay.’ And I wanted to stay. I protested. I said, ‘I can’t stay? Why not?’ And I started talking about all the reasons; I was a good wife, I was a good mother, I did 24-hour care with cancer patients. And He said, ‘Let me ask you one thing -- have you ever loved another the way you’ve been loved here?’ And I said, ‘No, it’s impossible. I’m a human.’ And then He just held me and said, ‘You can do better.’ ” -- Mary Jo Rapini, describing her near-death experience
